Learn to deal with neighborhood

Time and again India has suffered from its neighboring countries. Some call it over goodness others call it lack of ability or will to deal with such cases. True that we must have friendly relations with neighbors but at the same time we must see that we are able to protect our dignity. There are few facts which has led to situation today.

1. India has remain and will always remain on path of fairness and justice. It can not behave in unruly manner which others often do.

2. The surrounding countries are sadly unruly. Some call them self great power but try to grab land, some behead soldiers and kill prisoners and feel great achievement in that, some kill own people in the form of genocide and so on.  Humanity, fairness, peaceful coexistence these words are probably alien to them.

3. Our response in such instances is either lacking effectiveness or is emotional outburst.

Time has come that we must stop this. Our tolerance should not be taken for granted. And that will happen if we develop effective response to such incidents so that these are not repeated.

Some steps can be

- These countries must be conveyed that good relations with India are in their own interest as well. They can not continue to misbehave and hurt people of India and get away with that. All these incidents will be remembered and will boomerang on them. The law of natural justice will follow.
- We must develop time bound result oriented effective steps. These should not be mere discussions. These steps should correspond well with the incident to convey right message. These must be graded to make sure that the required result is achieved.
- We must develop strong vigilance and quick counter attack mechanism to make sure that such incidents are not repeated again. 

We must understand, relationship is not one way process. Learn to deal with neighbors.
